NHER 50771 (Monument record) - Possible World War Two roadside ammunitions stores or defences

December 2007. Norfolk NMP.
The remains of possible World War Two roadside defences may be visible on aerial photographs along Lime Kiln Road, Sparham (S1). The site is centred on TG 0550 1866. Similar features have been identified further east along Lime Kiln Road and on the Fakenham Road (NHER 50770).

On the roadside verges are a series of small pits and ditches and areas of disturbed or cleared ground. Although it is possible that the features are the product of roadside maintenance, the date of the photography and the presence of a possible military structure nearby (approx 450m to the northeast, see NHER 50770), may indicate that these are the remains of roadside defences or features relating to military training activities dating to World War Two.

A letter written to EDP newspaper (S2) refers to the verges of lanes near Bylaugh Hall (NHER 3006) having cases of ammunition stacked in them. It is possible that the features visible on aerial photographs are the remains of these ammunitions stores from earlier in the war.
